Five civilians including two elderly women and two boys were injured on Monday due to Indian troops' unprovoked firing from across the Line of Control (LoC).

In a tweet on Monday, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Major General Babar Iftikhar (DG ISPR) said during the last 24 hours, Indian troops resorted to firing in Nikial Sector along LoC.

Due to its ceasefire violation, India's target firing on the innocent civilians injured five civilians, he said. "Pakistan Army troops responded effectively to Indian firing," he said.

On July 5, India targeted civil population with mortars and heavy weapons in Battal Sector along LoC. Due to the unprovoked firing, a 22-year-old civilian was wounded.
